A thriving and bustling metropolis, the town of Venice has definitely earned the right to be a StompzCraft Featured Town. The town staff is incredibly active, working tirelessly to help the members inside and outside of the town.

This update is coming later than it should have but I do have some good news. Almost all the plugins are updated to 1.8. Next I will be finalizing some things with importing the world and such. It's taking a lot longer than I expected since I am mainly working solo and I am having a really tough time balancing this and college.

This is the first of a series of mini-updates to keep you posted as we move to doing a beta test of the new world. We will make updates as we make notable progress.

Update #1:

Building has essentially been completed. We are currently progressing on connecting plugins to the world and general tweaks.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! I am sorry the world has not been able to launch sooner but please keep in mind that we are pretty low on resources. Our build team has been incredible and without them we would not have the amazing world we have, but as far as plugin configuration and general tweaking goes that is a very technical and sometimes laborious job. Future updates will detail our progress and give you a great understanding of how close we are :)

After much delay due to my own incompetency, I have finally assembled screenshots from the new world. All this building work has been done by Bobbin1000 and it is nothing short of amazing. Enjoy the very first screenshots!

Not everything is 100% complete, but it is dang near close! This is our most ambitious and impressive world yet, all thanks to Bobbin. He is doing this for YOU guys, not me, or anyone else. He is doing it for the players.

PICTURE TIME!!! :D

Center of Spawn!

Attached to the spawn floating island will be smaller islands with room for portals to the best 8 towns in the server. Competition will be tough, ensuring only the best towns get featured to new players!

Market Hub!

The front

Amazing architecture!

Lots of places to shop!

Back of Market Hub

Inside! "S!"

Game Hub!!!

Spleef making a return?!?!

Mini Golf!

Build Hub! :D :D

such sand, much wow

A very cool, secretive section of BuildHub

Where is Portal Hub!?!?

There is beauty underneath!

Nostalgia?

Stairways up!

Bridge :D

There are groups of portals around the hub. Instead of just being portals everywhere, you can tell a player your portal is at a specific landmark, such as the temple-like structure pictured here.

Amazing scenery surrounding our lovely spawn!

For anyone that made it down here....I want to apologize (again.) This crap, pathetic apology doesn't deserve to be at the top. I want to say sorry for being a complete jerk the last month. Especially to Bobbin. I like to think in real life I am not a selfish and hurtful a-hole, but I forgot what I left online. I think the reason so many people liked Stompz indirectly or even directly was because I cared so much about it. For a couple years it was my life, I gave it all my energy and focus. It made Stompz great and that is exactly what you guys deserved. Today, you still deserve that and I haven't been doing anything that I should be. I don't know what to say right now. All I can say is I am still alive and that Bobbin is an amazing person for continuing to build you guys an amazing world despite my actions.

I hope these pictures at least assured you guys the world DOES look amazing. I did promise you guys it will be up and running, and I will keep that.
